Cringe
  • Agreed. That's not what the second panel said though. OP said cringe about safe parking spots. That's like saying cringe about giving homeless people food. Yeah no shit people shouldn't be homeless.

  • California becomes first state to offer health insurance to all undocumented immigrants
  • What does "come second" mean? Like they wait in a longer line? They get worse doctors?

    And just because other countries don't help immigrants is hardly an argument that they shouldn't be helped. WHY shouldn't they get health care?

  • California becomes first state to offer health insurance to all undocumented immigrants
  • Yeah you didn't say that the state isn't doing all it can though. You said to solve mental health and homelessness before giving health care to people.

    If the person you are a caretaker for was undocumented, would you withhold care? Should they get less care? Should they just get shipped back to where they came from? Or should they get the best possible care, regardless of immigration status, because they are a person in need?

  • California becomes first state to offer health insurance to all undocumented immigrants
  • I've got a wacky idea. What if we treated people as people and didn't discriminate based on where they happened to be born? Especially in this case where we're talking about people who live in the state, report their income, and pay taxes contributing to everyone's state funded healthcare.

  • California becomes first state to offer health insurance to all undocumented immigrants
  • "we're not even covering our own citizens"

    "We" already are. If by "we" you mean Californians.

    Also what's the alternative here? ER's can't deny help based on insurance. So if an immigrant goes to the hospital, should the hospital foot the bill or should that be covered by the state?

    Bringing homelessness, crime, and drugs into this is a false dichotomy. Those are separate issues. But hey if people aren't going broke from getting sick maybe homelessness, crime, and drug use may go down. If you're trying to fix those issues then health care should be top of your list anyway.

    And like other comments have stated, they DO pay taxes.

    And all that being said, when I need to go to the dentist, I go to Mexico because it's cheaper even with health insurance here.

  • Apple resumes Apple Watch sales after ban is paused.
  • "The appeals court said that Apple could continue selling its watches temporarily, while the company waited to hear back on whether proposed changes to its watches would avoid the patent issues."

    Aw okay you can have just a little illegal patent infringement, as a treat.

  • Anon has second thoughts about marriage
  • Chinese media: everything is perfect in an uncanny valley sort of way

    Mexican media: drugs, Jesus, boobs, or cartels

    French media: like a student film with a budget

    Indian media: this guy just punched a car so hard it turned into a transformer, then he turned into a transformer, then they fought and now everyone's dancing

  • Company tells employees to run miles each month if they want their bonuses
  • In theory.. the more you exercise the healthier you are. The healthier you are the less you call out sick and the longer you live, so, more labor for the company.

    Bonuses should be maxed out to all employees based on predetermined profit sharing, and effort outside of working hours shouldn't be a factor, so that's where this idea fails. But encouraging your employees to be healthy is obviously good for business, and also, good for the employees.

    This is not the way to do it though.

  • Reddit's pathetic attempt to quash dissent
  • Hey Mr Manager, 11181514@lemmy.world here, some dude on Lemmy. So, we’ve all had a... time away from Reddit lately. And I’m here to recognize it, acknowledge that our relationship has been idk fine I guess, and begin the “hey man how's it going?” conversation.

  • Ron DeSantis fires roughly a dozen staffers in a campaign shake-up
  • Americans are rallying behind Ron DeSantis and his plan to reverse Joe Biden’s failures and restore sanity to our nation, and his momentum will only continue as voters see more of him in-person, especially in Iowa.

    omg every part of this sentence is fucking hilarious
